Here’s a decent article that goes into why Card’s guns weren’t taken from him after it became clear to many people that he was psychiatrically unstable and dangerous. Long story short: the laws were in place, but people didn’t act on them.
the laws were in place, but people didn’t act on them.
That means the families of the dead can sue the law enforcement and state.
Yay more tax dollars spent!
And if you act now, we’ll throw in a free bonus of ‘NO ACCOUNTABILITY’
At what point can authorities be held criminally liable for failing to enforce laws that protect people, and as a direct result someone gets killed? We need to be better about holding our institutions accountable.
That’s a good question, but I don’t really know the answer. Someone else ITT mentioned the possibility of civil action against the people/institutions that should have acted. I don’t know if any other legal action is possible.

This is just needlessly hostile. You seem to dislike America, but imagine if the things that you dislike could change and America could be better. The article linked is a part of the process to understand and hopefully change things so that this kind of awfulness never happens.
Why be so unkind? You and OP appear to be on the same side, wrt being against gun violence.
That guys account was made yesterday, probably just to troll exactly like this
Edit: yeah he has 5 comments at this time all of which anti-American kind of content

I know it’s important to get answers to these questions, and I know that there’s a chance something could be learned that might lower the chance of someone losing their mind and hurting other people or themselves. I know that this is the right thing to do and I agree that they should be using the brain to help people.
But on a more visceral level, I recoil at the thought of any good coming from a mass shooting, especially from the shooter.
Invoking “the good side” of a mass shooting just feels wrong.
And again, I don’t disagree with it, but what are the odds that any action will be taken if they do find a link?Why can no good come out of something bad? You should always learn from your mistakes.
It’s easier just to remain a victim than admit you’re a part of the society that has failed so fundamentally to its core.
It gives me the ick as well, but I feel that there is always a silver lining to be found even in the worst of circumstances. There’s always something to be learned… still I wish that none of this happened at all. It’s sickening, to be sure

Gun owners are law abiding citizens.

Until they’re not. But that not the guns fault. And we shouldn’t do anything about people’s access to guns.
